Gala Chair Marci Albanesi stated, “We are really excited for the First Annual Gala to benefit Edmond Town Hall. With the goal of enhancing the quality of life for Newtown residents through music and the arts, this gala will specifically benefit the 6 dressing rooms utilized by all artists who use the theater. Whether it’s our children performing with the local dance and theater companies or artists booked for comedy and live music shows, providing updated, comfortable, and functional dressing rooms is essential. 


The auction will feature exciting items such as a Stratton Airbnb getaway, classes at Balanced Pilates, a catered meal for eight, and more! Get the detailed silent auction list here.  


The culinary experience at the gala will be orchestrated by the award-winning STF Catering, LTD, renowned for its local and sustainable farm-to-table cuisine, ensuring that the passed and stationary hors d'oeuvres are not only delicious but also aligned with eco-friendly practices.
